Veterinair neuroloog Professor Holger Volk van ‘the Royal Veterinary College (RVC) (afdeling Kleine Huisdieren)’ te London heeft de “IVETF” opgericht in 2014 en zegt “Looking back over last year’s journey and finally seeing the end product of having multiple consensus statements is one of the most exciting things I have been involved with in my career”. “I feel very privileged, humbled and honoured to have worked and learned from all these highly skilled, knowledgeable and prestigious colleagues. Going forward, we are looking forward to continuing the journey we have started so successfully. I have no doubt that this work will have the impact we hope and will lead to better care for our patients with epilepsy.”

Veterinair neuroloog Dr. Rusbridge van de Universiteit van Surrey en ‘Fitzpatrick Referrals’ zegt: “Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is regarded as an important diagnostic test to reach the diagnosis of idiopathic epilepsy and there is a need for a standardized veterinary epilepsy-specific MRI protocol which will facilitate more detailed examination of areas susceptible to generating and perpetuating seizures, is cost efficient, simple to perform and can be adapted for both low and high field scanners.”
